Wildlife resorts and jungle lodges of India bring you all the comforts and charms of the imperial lifestyle along with unique opportunities of following tiger trails, going on jungle jeep or elephant safaris, seeing, studying, and clicking rare and endangered species of flora and fauna. In this article, we will discuss some of the fabulous wildlife resorts that have earned recognition for making the wildlife tour dreams of thousands of domestic and international tourists come true over the years.
Taj’s Mahua Kothi near Bandhavgarh National Park is known for its unconventional and innovative experiences. The lush luxury and impeccable service within its 40-acre campus is offset by its quaint and rustic surroundings. This Taj Safari Lodge is known for the adventure trips and wildlife safaris that are trendsetters in the wildlife tourism circuits in India. Its tented camps known as Churhat Kothi have charmed the jungle lovers for years and are ideal for enjoying a bonfire night in regal style. Close to Khajuraho, Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh was once the royal hunting grounds of Maharaja of Rewa and was known for its white tigers. However, no white tiger has been spotted here for 50 years now.
Just 230 km from the place, there is Kanha National Park, which inspired the settings of well-loved ‘The Jungle Book’ by Rudyard Kipling. Better known as a tiger reserve, Kanha has been a saving grace for Barasinghas or swamp deer, which are close to being extinct. In this very national park, you will find one of the most discreet jungle and safari lodges in India known as Chitvan Jungle Lodge. Blending luxury and sensuality in the most fascinating manner, Chitvan is a luxury wildlife resort that focuses on elemental living. It fuses well with the surrounding Sal trees and introduces you to the life of unspoiled woodlands of Kanha.
It is impossible to talk about wildlife tourism in India and not to mention Ranthambore National Park. A former royal hunting ground of the Maharaja of Jaipur, this tiger reserve is one of the biggest and best known National Parks of India. The jungle lodge used by the Maharaja and royal guests is now a preferred place of stay for wildlife photographers and adventure lovers who come to Ranthambore just to catch a glimpse of the Royal Bengal Tiger. The Sawai Madhopur Lodge now belongs to Taj Group of Hotels and exudes a rustic, earthy charm. With history in the air and mystery of jungles augmenting its aura, Taj’s Sawai Madhopur was the place where Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip stayed during their visit to India.
Bird lovers may combine their visit to one of the most famous bird sanctuaries in the world – Keoladeo Ghana National Park at Bharatpur – with a stay at the luxury heritage hotel situated nearby. The Bagh is situated in a 200-year old garden sprawled over 12 acres, has spacious bathrooms and luxurious furnishings, and provides an ideal retreat to weary travelers who want to relax and rejuvenate after a long bird watching tour in the Bharatpur National Park. Wildlife resorts in India are ideal for one-night stays during your business trips as well as extended pleasure and leisure vacations.
